COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONA British Pale Ale never tasted so fresh. We challenge our good friends across the pond to match this one. Can’t be done. We’ve honored the traditions of the great British Pale brewers of Burton-on-Trent using our patented Firestone Union oak barrels. You’re left with a mild blend of vanilla and toasted oak flavor touched with an elegant hint of English noble hops. DBA is the flagship of our company and wildly popular

Tastes of oak, diluted vanilla, toasted wheat. There’s a mellow earthiness to the beer that is reminiscent of mulch or shaved bark. With that said, it’s also relatively similar to the body of Sam Adams’ Boston Lager. Of course this ale has a more distinct, edgy flavor than the aforementioned brew. Decent in a pinch, with its amber color and subdued hoppiness, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

bottle pour amber caramel red color with not much head..nose has nut like character mixed in with some caramel malts..not getting as much from the so called vanilla and toasted oak flavor intertwined with the hops, not a giant fan of ESB style so not really thrilled by this..light bodied, creamy carbonation decent offering..slight nutty extract qualities in the finish

GOOD BEER ITS TASTE LIKE FRUITS AND SPICE THE BARRELL MAKES IT REALLY STRONG BURNS A LITTLE BUT THEY’RE OK. I LIKE THIS BEER (BETTER THEN FAKE DUBEL IPA MERCYENERY) (AND IT IS NO PLINY (THE FANTASTICK BEER ) BUTT I HAVE SUGESHTON YOU NEED CHANGE THE NAME. FIRE STONE’S SOUNDS LIKE THE TIRE COMPANY AND IT CONFUSES PEOPLE TO. ONE BOTTEL OF THIS MADE ME DRUNK. ITS GOOD.

A very attractive beer. Copper, bright tone, thick staying head, thick retention, nice lace. Perfect appearance. Fruity (dark ester profile fruit), with a touch of toffee. Mouthfeel starts full and creamy, then feels a bit light. Still it is nice. Not much taste. Much more impressed than I thought I would be.
